Stripping characters out of fields

[Jayson Garrett]

Hi folks...

I'm going to be extracting some information to a non-PowerHouse system
which can potentially have trouble if certain special characters (mainly
the # sound) appear in the data.

What's the best way to strip # characters out of data using PH?

My platform is MPE/iX 5.5, PowerHouse 7.09.E. I'll be extracting the
data using QTP.

Thanks for any suggestions!

ideas and is capable of taking them in, and a vast majority that
finds them painful, and is thus arrayed against them."
